Monuments or memorials to children in English churches were extremely rare until the late 18th and early 19th century. In the 16th century one can find the occassional child tomb amongst the aristocracy, such as that of the The Noble Impe at St Mary's Warwick, but otherwise children rarely appear to have warranted memorials in their own right.
The Tomb of the Children of France is a traditionally attributed to Michel Colombe (c. 1430–1515), one of the foremost French sculptors of the late Gothic and early Renaissance periods, and is widely regarded as one of Michel Colombe’s most touching and refined works.
Once thought to be an effigial monument to William Longespee (d1250) the date of the armour places this as a 14th century monument.
